Love it!

"If you want happiness for an hour - take a nap. If you want happiness for a day - go fishing. If you want happiness for a year - inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime - help someone else." - Chinese Proverb Love it! So true. I've been so shy and withdrawn most of my life it's kept me too much in my own head. Just realizing how great it feels to lift my head up, smile, look people in their eyes and be present to life. Wow!

Biggest time waster is, of course, this computer and television...HELLO!! What will I do about it this year? I only watch television at night, but I can decrease by an hour a night or have one day a week with no tv.

Bought my first home at 19 years old...money was tight, worked hard, made improvements over time...then raised my two sons as a single Mom. Although I didn't have much time to think about it, there were times I was overwhelmed with the realization of the responsiblity I had of watching out for these two lives...but also so fulfilling and rewarding to see them grow and experience life. I love them with all my heart.

I am incredibly lucky to have been offered an early retirement at age 50, I've been able to travel, live in the tropics, spend my free time volunteering, learning Tai Chi, art, staying active hiking, biking and swimming...all the things I wanted to do for the 30 years I was working but felt I didn't have time or was too tired. I have less money, less stress but live a much healthier, happier life.

Being Grateful

My health, my sight, my hearing, ability to walk, hike, ride a bike, modern conveniences like running water, plumbing, stores where we can buy abundant groceries, farmers that grow the food we eat, a roof over my head, family, love.

Help for Chronic Pain

If you are having any problems in your life you need to�change the way you're feeling right away by looking around and finding things to be thankful for.��If you are in pain and all you can think about is the pain...STOP what you're thinking and find something to get your�mind off it.� I like to play positive music and sing and dance...even if I feel terrible I try to pretend I feel fine.��Have you heard the saying whatever you think about you bring about?��It works!!� I had fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue for 4 years.� I�cannot describe to you how much constant pain I was in and how depressed I was.� I decided to�try to�find some positive�music to get my mind off it and decided on James Brown "I feel good".� I played it on my MP3 player. Whenever I�felt I couldn't go on...I played it and pretended I felt good.� I�also�had the book "The Secret" on my mp3 player...�to remind me to�have�good thoughts.� In 3 months MY PAIN WAS GONE!!� It works.� I want to share my experience with anyone out there needing help.� My wish to you is to find what makes you happy and live a fabulous life!.��
